Hi again, You may want to see if you can take a week off from work.Generally you feel better after a few days, but 2 days may be a little too soon to return to work.You generally will still feel tired and somewhat sore and you want to rest and recuperate as much as possible after.It's good that your parents will be there to help too.Remember, even though they call it band-aid surgery it's still surgery and should be treated as such. Take care & good luck. Sara'
